10 Best Books for Homeschool Moms

 

 

There are books every homeschool mom needs to have in her library.

When I was a new homeschool mom a friend loaned me a bag of books to borrow during our beach vacation. 

They were her stash of best homeschooling books for moms. I devoured them on the car ride there, while we were on the beach, and on the car ride home. 

I learned SO MUCH from those books. They gave me inspiration, motivation, ideas, encouragement, and just the TOOLS I needed to begin my journey.

Using Notebooking Pages In Every Area Of Your Homeschool

 

We have been notebooking in our homeschool for as long as I can remember.

Notebooking allows my children to have a scrapbook of their learning. It allows them to express themselves through writing, drawing, cutting and pasting, and more. 

Notebooking can also be done across ALL areas of your homeschool. We have notebooked our way through history, science, and music - with sprinklings of Bible copywork, math notebooking, and notebooking with literature.

Collage Friday - Math, Appliances, and Other Goodies

 

 

It's been an odd week. We're not QUITE done with our schoolwork (more on that later), and we have been jam packed with special activities.

Last weekend we went to see a local high school production of Hairspray. It was excellent! Our friend, Olivia, who we go to church with, has babysat the kids, and was also one of my piano students, had a part in the show. Anna and I had a fun night, and we're still singing Good Morning Baltimore a week later!
